If the book is too long for you, there is a shorter versionJamister said:I'm looking for a book on foundation of quantum mechanics. I started reading the book "do we really understand quantum mechanics" of franck laloë , and it seems to be very chatty and long. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you
Yes, but it's much more chatty than Laloe.George Jones said:There also is the undergad book "Foundations of Quantum Mechanics" by Travis Norsen.
The best book for learning about quantum foundations is subjective and depends on the individual's level of understanding and specific interests. Some popular options include "Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman, "Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" by David Griffiths, and "Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications" by Nouredine Zettili.
A book on quantum foundations typically covers topics such as the history and development of quantum theory, the principles of quantum mechanics, mathematical formalism, quantum measurement and interpretation, and applications of quantum theory in different fields such as quantum computing and quantum information.
While a strong background in physics and mathematics can be helpful, it is not always necessary to understand a book on quantum foundations. Many books on the subject are written for a general audience and provide explanations and examples that are accessible to readers with a basic understanding of science and mathematics.
Yes, a book on quantum foundations can be helpful for someone already familiar with quantum mechanics. These books often delve deeper into the fundamental principles and theories of quantum mechanics, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the subject. They can also cover more advanced topics and applications of quantum theory.
Yes, there are many online resources and supplemental materials available to enhance the learning experience from a book on quantum foundations. These can include lecture videos, interactive simulations, practice problems, and online forums for discussion and clarification. Some books may also have accompanying websites or online resources provided by the author or publisher.
